Could dentures improve your smile? Your Wynnewood, PA, dentist, Dr. Domenic Baglivo can help you choose the ideal dentures for you.

The many advantages of dentures

Dentures offer these important oral and general health benefits:

Improved Appearance: Losing your teeth can have a huge impact on your appearance and self-esteem. When a large number of your teeth are missing, your social life and career may suffer. In fact, you may decide to turn down invitations from friends or decide not to apply for a new job, even though you have the required skills and experience. Replacing your missing teeth with dentures can improve your self-confidence and help you take advantage of all of the opportunities life offers.

No More Eating Issues: Teeth are essential for a healthy diet. If you've experienced significant tooth loss, chewing, tearing, and grinding foods become impossible. As a result, you may switch to a soft-food or liquid diet. Unfortunately, this means you don't receive the nutrients you need to maintain good health. Eventually, your health may begin to suffer as a result of nutritional deficiencies. Swallowing food whole, a tactic some people who've lost teeth try, can upset your stomach and cause other gastrointestinal issues. Dentures restore your biting and chewing ability and make it possible to eat a variety of healthy foods.

Clear Speech: Your teeth help you form the sounds that make up words. After tooth loss, it may be difficult to pronounce certain words, which may affect your ability to communicate effectively. Dentures improve your speech and help you avoid communication issues with family, friends, and co-workers. During your visit to the Wynnewood, PA, dental office, your dentist can help you compare the advantages of the various types of dentures.

Healthier Teeth: If you've only lost a few teeth, you may be wondering if it's really necessary to replace your missing teeth. Relying on your remaining teeth to bite and chew speeds wear and tear, which may cause the teeth to become damaged or worn down. Fortunately, partial dentures will improve your appearance and help you protect your remaining teeth.
